The annoying "Requested unsupported VRM version" message that fills your logs has been fixed in kernel 2.6.22. For earlier kernel versions, there is no direct way to disable this warning message, but the following workaround should work: * Search for the "vrm" file under /sys. It should be reachable as either /sys/devices/platform/pc87366.26144/vrm or /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device/vrm. * Write value 90 to that file: echo 90 > /sys/devices/platform/pc87366.26144/vrm After doing that, the warning message should no longer be logged. You'll have to reiterate the operation after each reboot so you probably want to add the command in some local boot script. -- Jean Delvare
